CPAC Welcomes ROCK OF AGES, 1/11-16

In 1987 on the Sunset Strip, a small-town girl met a big-city dreamer - and in L.A.'s most legendary rock club, they fell in love to the greatest songs of the '80's. It's Rock of Ages, a hilarious, feel-good love story told through the hit songs of iconic rockers Journey, Styx, REO Speedwagon, Foreigner, Pat Benatar, Whitesnake, and many more. Don't miss this awesomely good time where big hair meets big dreams and the result totally wails when Rock of Ages plays the Bob Carr Performing Arts Centre, January 11 - 16, 2011.

Coming to you, direct from Broadway, Tony Award® Nominee Constantine Maroulis of American Idol fame, will reprise his acclaimed performance as Drew in the First National Tour of the five-time Tony Award® nominated smash-hit musical Rock of Ages. Rolling Stone says, "Rock of Ages has found a perfect lead in Maroulis," and so like Bartles & James, big hair and Dep, some things are just meant for each other.
